“All the “regulars”
in last years Christmas pageant are retiring, so the head pastor is tasked
with placing someone new in charge. He
selects an enthusiastic associate pastor.
On the night of the pageant, the head pastor realizes that the associate
pastor has not planned anything beyond a few homemade props and dressing
himself as Joseph, but the associate pastor is able to think quickly on his
feet and come up with a plan. During a
short, funny time-lapse video montage we see the pastor quickly running through the
halls of the church gathering people and props and assembling a complete
pageant including the children’s choir and a narrator (storyteller). The curtain opens and a beautiful, polished
pageant begins, complete with a grand nativity set, produced audio/video
elements, and music throughout.”

About Me

The author Frederick Buechner once defined ‘vocation’ as “the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.” I think I’m living that definition. I’ve spent the last three decades studying, pastoring, teaching and writing about worship, looking for ways to strengthen and deepen our corporate conversations with God. I’m still not sure how I landed up on this journey, and it certainly hasn’t always been easy. But I’ve never been able to escape the conviction that this is where God wants me, and this is the work I need to be doing.
